Dr. Ken

SERIOUSLY, i really do not get what's up with all the negative reviews. This show is genuinely funny, i do not get why people are saying that it seems like a bad show and that it's lame and dry. This show is just like an ordinary sitcom out there. It's not trying to be something it isn't. There are even a couple of good laughs here and there and it doesn't push any "Asian Agenda" as many are claiming. I feel that people are unsatisfied because of Ken Jeong's character. Maybe most are not used to seeing Ken Jeong as a normal but quirky family man and that's why people see this show so negatively. If you want to watch a show where Ken Jeong is acting weird and quirky like how he does on "Community" or in "The hangover", then i can get why people are disappointed. But then again, the title is "Dr Ken" and he has a family. What do people expect??? A guy selling drugs? A crazy doctor? It does not make sense. All in all, i liked this show and its entirety. Makes me laugh and is actually interesting. It has proper characters and it is refreshing to watch.

I agree with the other poster who said that this show should've been on HBO so that it would've had more freedom. There's an edge to it,but you feel that just as a great line was going somewhere, there was an edit. Ken is brilliant as always and the son is tv gold, I hope we see them work together again soon, and for much longer.

The pilot was painful. I couldn't get thru it. Typical sitcom shtick that I am not a fan. I am more of the Arrested Development variety.

However, As a Nurse (if you saw the 2nd episode you might get the reference) I find a lot more humor in the 2nd episode. Perhaps it comes from my being in health-care and seeing the US health-care system and arrogant doctors skewered. The 2nd episode was much more enjoyable.

I'm going to keep watching. I think the early reviewers jumped the gun reviewing off the pilot. Pilots are always rough and rocky. They rarely show the true potential.

I <3 Ken Jeong.

Look l just read all the previous reviews and don't get how they didn't laugh.

Yes it is a fast paced show for a short period of time, sure they could have dragged out the story lines, but why would you.

Everyone in our family were laughing at different bits in the show. It is a fun family show that depicts things that happen in everyday life, obviously these days people are so sensitive that they can't even laugh at the things we all know to be true.

Don't read what the haters are saying, watch the show and decide if it's the kind of humour that's for you.

I remember watching this show and thinking that it would be ten times better if it was on HBO and he could be free to do whatever he wanted. Anyone who has seen Ken Jeong's bloopers knows that he is a fantastic improviser, and when he does it he can make you cry laughing. If he had that kind of freedom this show would probably still be on air.
